  • Should I use Fedora for a home server? I like stuff not breaking randomly after updates which makes Gentoo and Arch kind of a meh choice. Debian is so committed to foss that it’s harder to get drivers working/a lot less stuff works out of the box. On a new enough laptop with all it’s weird chipset drivers, it’s harder to get Debian working than Arch in my experience. I’ve never successfully got Nvidia drivers working on Debian for example.

    Normally home servers run bog standard older hardware so using Debian isn’t a problem but I want to install an Nvidia card for ai stuff.


  • The versions still make me reluctant to try rust. I’m sure it’s reliable in theory but I’m always getting cockblocked when someone’s python project doesn’t work because of dependencies and different versions. I once remade a python 3d object format converter in c++ because that was easier than a) fixing whatever dependency and runtime version shenanigans or b) using whatever bullshit ass Windows-only propriety software most people used to make that file conversion



  • What at-home stuff can you do to maintain your teeth? Brushing and flossing twice a day just doesn’t cut it. Brown stuff still eventually builds up around the edges and right above the gum line (although it does take quite a few years). Being obsessive about dental hygiene only delays the buildup and is not sustainable on its own. I may be able to afford dentist appointments now but by the way society is headed, that may not be the case 10 years from now or even next month.




  • I think I got up to 300 or so days on my old Athlon XP Gentoo server. I have “upgraded” since then and my current server can’t go more than 2 days. I have an arduino connected to the motherboards reset button pin that resets it whenever the bash script that communicates with the arduino stops running but even that somehow still crashes at least once a week and needs manual intervention.
